12 LOT, DOUBLE FRONTAGE. A lot which has a pair of opposite lot lines abutting 2 substantially • parallel streets and which is not a corner lot. LOT, FLAG. A lot that has access to a public street via a narrow strip but does not have the full required frontage on a public street. LOT FRONTAGE. The narrowest lot boundary abutting a public street that meets minimum lot width requirements. If none of the boundaries abutting a public street meet minimum lot width requirements, then the lot frontage is the widest boundary abutting a street. LOT, INTERIOR. A lot, other than corner lot, including through lots. LOT LINE. A property boundary line of any lot held in single or separate ownership except that where any position of the lot extends into the abutting street or alley, the lot line shall be deemed to be the street or alley right -of -way. LOT LINE, FRONT. The lot line separating a lot from the street right -of -way along the lot frontage. LOT LINE, REAR. The lot line opposite and most distant from the lot frontage which connects the side lot lines. For the purposes of this chapter, the REAR LOT LINE of a triangular lot shall be a line entirely within the lot at least 10 feet long and parallel to and most distance point from the front lot line. If the front lot line on a lot is curved, the rear lot line shall be parallel to a line tangent to the front lot line. LOT LINE, SIDE. Lot lines extending away from the lot frontage, which connects the front and rear lot lines. LOT, THROUGH. A lot fronting on 2 parallel streets. LOT, TRIANGULAR. A lot in which the side lot lines converge into a single vertex. The vertex shall be deemed to be the rear lot line. LOT, UNIT. Lots created from the subdivisions of a 2- family dwelling or townhome having different minimum lot size requirements than the conventional base lots within the zoning district. LOT WIDTH. The horizontal distance between the side lot line of a lot measured at the front building setback line and parallel to the front lot line. If the front lot line is curved, such as on a cul -de -sac, the lot width is measured along a line parallel to a tangent to the front lot line. METES AND BOUNDS. A method of property description by means of their direction and distance from an identifiable point of beginning. MINOR SUBDIVISION. A subdivision which results in 3 or fewer residential unsewered parcels, tracts, or lots from 1 or 2 existing parcels, tracts, or lots; or the exchange of abutting land between owners through the relocation of the boundary line between two abutting, existing parcels of property which does not result in the creation of any new lot.
